Below are ten stories that news publications retracted during Modi’s first tenure as the prime minister. Many of these stories did not seem to have editorial fallacies, but showed industrialists deemed to be close to the government and Modi’s fellow members from the Bharatiya Janata Party in poor light—Amit Shah, our home minister features in three of them. I reached out to publications that pulled down the stories, but none replied at the time of publishing.

Deloitte was banned from doing business in India in June 2019 for IL&FS Scam. How could it get appointed in just a matter of months in Nov 2019 as a consultant to sell BPCL? How did it happen? Whose pockets got heavy? #BigFour https://m.economictimes.com/industry/energy/oil-gas/government-appoints-deloitte-as-advisor-for-bpcl-stake-sale/articleshow/72284450.cms

While whole delhi is choking and suffocating because of the air quality, our dear Prime Minister spent Rs 36,00,000 for air purifiers. Who is this purchase for? Is it for the people? Or, is it for our ruling aristocracy? Consider this,
Interestingly, between 2014 and 2017, a total of 140 air purifiers were purchased for PM Modi's offices and at least six other government agencies, according to previously unpublished government data, reported Reuters.

State Subjects | The long-standing demand of some Kashmiri Pandit organisations to carve out a separate homeland for the community never made sense either from a cultural or security perspective—it would only promote ghettoisation.

People living & dying with the deafening sounds of bombs. How much more?
Colonialist voilent assertions of hegemony & War are not normal. Not in Kashmir, Yemen, Syria, Palestine.

Then PM Dr.Manmohan Singh & FM @PChidambaram_IN@twitter.com kept India safe & the Indian economy growing, despite the global financial crisis of 2008.
Now there's no global crisis.
Just a #ModiMadeEconomicCrisis in New India.
